If I call someone fat, they call it fat shaming, but it's really doing them a favor. Obesity leads to all sorts of health problems and is the main reason for our crumbling health system, but everyone wants to be politically correct.
75% of US adults are overweight- obese and therefore substantially more vulnerable to Diabetes, Hypertension, Heart Disease, Joint Deterioration and some Cancers. It should come as no surprise that healthcare costs what it does.
For crying out loud, 30 million ( almost 10% of the population) has Diabetes. The annual cost to treat Diabetes and complications exceeds insurance premiums.
Having said this, I do not understand the intent of " fat shaming".
Better to make an objective waist measure a condition of all health insurance. Those with waist sizes greater than X are automatically disqualified from public insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, Military and so on.
Those with waist sizes greater than X pay substantially higher premiums in the private sector insurance market, including group plans.
Put the population on a 2 year notice and allow people to decide for themselves.
Healthcare costs would plummet in the US if a meaningful percentage of people chose to right size.

Why don't you worry about your own health and habits?
In fact you can list your dietary choices, excerise regime, hobbies,sexual preferences,habits etc. on this thread and we can all critique

What bothers me is seeing little kids 8, 9, 10 years old that look like they're 40-50 lbs. overweight. I see a lot of that these days.

Because you really don't care about them and aren't shaming them for their own good but rather to satisfy the grinning mean little kid inside of you.
People are afraid to talk about weight issues? Frankly, I think Americans are obsessed with their weight and talk about it excessively. Teenage girls freak out over normal fluctuations in body shape during adolescence. Teenage boys stand in front of the mirror worried about not having a six-pack despite perfectly flat abs. Middle-aged women starve themselves, and both genders adopt crazy workout programs to stave off typical mid-life changes in physique. I think Americans have a very twisted relationship with food and exercise, mostly because we spend too much time talking about weight and not enough time focusing on general health, which never involves diet pills, weird eating patterns, or crazy workout schedules.
